ES inserts

[Tyler Clark]

Brian I would agree with Ray on all his points but here are a few more.
As for the passenger side mount if you don't have any tools you can take
the mount to a machine shop and have them press it out. They might be
reluctant to want to do this because the surface is not flat but assure
them that it will not snap the outer casing. As Ray suggested it is
easier to just hack it out or use a dremel. To insert that honkin thing
just lube the snot out of it and use a bench mounted vise with a piece
of wood on the side of the mount and squish it in. The front mount
insert is easily pressed out and pressed in with a little snot.  To
summarize just use a vise and a lot of lube and you will be fine.
Polyurethane bushings are tough so if it looks like they won't fit trust
us they will flex and squish and eventually they will fit into the
existing casings that the old mounts were in.

After doing many my biggest tips are:

1.) Support the engine.  You want the engine pretty much to stay
in its place when you remove a mount.  This helps greatly when
putting it back in.
2.) To remove the old passenger side mount insert the easiest
way is to start at the opening with either a dremel or a
hack saw and saw away at the sleeve until you get thru
it.  Then bend the sleeve inwards and it will *FALL* out.
3.) *Lubrication* is key to get the passenger side mount in.
4.) When bolting the passenger side mount back in put the long
bolt that goes thru the center in first.  Next put the outer to
 bolts on the engine in and tighten *ALL* the way.  Finally put
the center bolt on the engine in.  With the outer 2 bolts tightened
up the middle one will line up perfectly.  Finally tighten the long
bolt that goes thru the center of the mount.
